Nate never ceases to amaze me with his gorgeous score for True Blood. The intricate ways
in which he intertwines motifs for characters and relationships, the way he marries themes of
suspense and dread to deeply heartfelt romantic yearning ó itís magical. And the sheer
amount of music he writes for each episode is astounding! I cannot imagine True Blood
without Nateís score, which has become a character in its own right.

A Note From The Composer

Season Two of True Blood is completely insane in the very best of ways. Whether itís blackeyed
orgies, cannibalism, or an oversize pig, all roads lead back to Maryann! And if we learn
anything at all, we learn that with a Maenad on the loose, absolutely anything is possible.
Musically, a detuned, plucked Psaltery seemed to me just the thing for Maryann, coupled with
some slippery gourd cello lines and my own wailing vocals to top it off. In addition to the
bizarre, Season Two also introduces us to Samís tragic past, to a growing bond between Sookie
and Eric, to Ericís maker Godric, and to Billís maker Lorena, all of which provided for wonderful
musical explorations. As always, my experience working with Alan Ball and his creative team
has been a blessing, and as I near completion on Season Three, I keep wondering when Iím
going to wake up from this beautiful dream! Enjoy Ö

I listen at work when I need to concentrate or at home if I just want to relax. It's gorgeous to listen to, especially "Eric's Grief/The Bleeds" and Vampire Love (a more melancholy version of Bill & Sookie's theme).

If you enjoy string-based instrumental scores, you'll love this. But if you're looking for something upbeat this isn't it.
